JAMMU, May 9: National Secular Forum today staged a strong protest demonstration against the illegal Rohingyas and Bangladeshi immigrants in Jammu and urged the State Government to take immediate remedial measures to weed out these parasites operating in the State.
A number of NSF activists, led by Dr Vikas Sharma, took part in the protest demonstration and amidst rising of slogans, also torched an effigy of the Rohingyas, Bangladeshis in the State. They requested the Chief Minister to take an overall review of the growing presence of Rohingyas, Bangladeshis in the State and also direct security agencies to identify sympathizers of these illegal immigrants.
Addressing the protesters, the NSF State president Dr Vikas Sharma alleged that the Rohingyas, Bangladeshis and their sympathizers were working under a clear cut strategy to allow penetration among the unorganized labour, youth, educated unemployed, intelligentsia and the middle class.
Smelling a deep rooted conspiracy hatched by certain unscrupulous forces to settle the immigrants in the colonies encircling the Jammu city, Dr Sharma maintained that these immigrants had been settled here by several NGOs and Madrassas who had illegally managed to procure PRCs, Identity Cards, Ration Cards, Water and Electricity connections for their daily needs by conniving with some politicians and officials in the administration.
Dr Sharma regretted that while the Rohingyas from Mynmar and Bangladeshis could manage to settle in the Jammu in the recent years besides Tibetan refugees enjoying the voting rights in Kashmir, ironically the West Pak refugees being the citizens of India, who crossed over to Jammu to survive the massacre of partition, were struggling for the State subject rights since 1947.
He once again exhorted the State and Union Governments to take serious cognizance of the security threat posed by these illegal immigrants in the wake of recent terror attacks in the State and urged the Union Ministry of Home to immediately facilitate their deportation to the native countries in the interest of the State and the country.
